The subtle changes people make to how the execute this movement tells a story. Can you read it?
A simple way to finally understand cutting technical models! No more confusion
Perception speed and accuracy can have huge performance impact, but are you just expecting it to develop itself?
Ho athletes manipulate defenders and maximise adaptability at speed.
The first step in moving away from an acceleration and speed only approach is stepping. A hugely important quality which can open the doors to many more movement options
Another big step towards multi-directional expertise is getting athletes out of the sagittal plane

Should they be burned or used frequently on pitch. What role does foot speed have.
Maturation creates a whole host of challenges for multi-directional speed. But what are they?

We LOVE speed development. But athletes aren't sprinters. They need more than linear acceleration
Does injury risk go up when performance improves?
Testing non-linear movements isn't easy, lets consider the levels...
